There are plenty of times in any
professional's career where you you make
an investment, you bet on something, and
it doesn't work out.
And, you know, the
human reaction to that is to feel
dejected. The human reaction to that is
to sort of succumb to failure.
And I would say that, you know, you
you're about to close a loan, a hundred
million dollar loan, a billion dollar
loan, you're about to uh acquire a
property, and then something goes wrong.
An investor falls out at the last
minute. Um
you know, the the lender says they want
terms that you didn't anticipate. Uh a
tenant's supposed to sign a lease, they
don't sign a lease. I think having the
awareness that it's not just you.
If you just are limited to your own
capabilities, you're screwed. You're
dead in the water.
But, if you realize that the only way
you got here in the first instance was
with the help of God.
You have, again, that gear to go into,
and that is optimism. And that is taking
your own initiative and trying to make a
success out of a failure. And many times
when you look back in retrospect, you
can see that that failure is what
actually gave you an opportunity for
much greater success that you didn't
even envision before.
